Darth Maul: the forgotten villain

I don't see Darth Maul as a "forgotten" villian, but as an unimportant one. Lord Maul was fast-- fast enough to get the job done, however, he held no real power more than being a drone of Sidious'. He faught with anger, and when you fight with true anger, you'll die. Maul made the best duel in the whole saga, but as a character, he's nowhere as interesting as Lord Vader or Tyrannus.

I don't think having Sideous should mention Maul in ROTS unless it's in passing to describe something else. It would be out of his nature - everyone is a pawn to him, faceless creations that he can move around for his gain. He feels no more care over losing Maul then he does stepping on a bug, especially since less than a day after Maul's destruction, the Jedi served a bright, shiny little Chosen One to him on a silver platter.

I personally have nothing against Darth Maul but I agree with what a previous poster said. He served his purpose. Let's just all be thankful the EU hasn't found a way to bring him back to life.

I havn't forgotten Maul. He is a man with little to say, though if you watch him when he is looking at something,or someone. His eyes says it all. On Dooku, if you remember, he is of the old fighting style. DM, I think he played a big part in Star Wars, cuase even though he appeared, the Jedi, still are relaxed. Maybe not as much, but they are still relaxed.

DM will never be forgotten he is one of my favorites. I still remember the feeling when he ignited the other side of the lightsaber in TPM before the dual. DM was a sith lord, but still only a minion to sidious he was expendable, I agree that sidious would not think twice about the loss of his apprantice, only that he would focus on what may have gone wrong with his training of DM and the begin focusing on who was going to be his next apprentice.

I don't see Maul as a forgotten villian or character, but rather he served his purpose in the story, because he killed Qui-Gon, which led to Anakin becoming Obi-Wan's apprentice.

Secondly, Maul's death was the chain reaction that led to Palpatine having to find another apprentice. If Maul had killed Obi-Wan as well, then Anakin most likely would never have become a Jedi.

Lastly, when I see and hear the title of Episode 3, "Revenge of the Sith", I always think of Maul, because though he had few lines, the most important line he said pointed to events of Episode 3, as if a prophecy.

Maul: "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have our revenge"!

I think Darth Maul is remembered well for what he is: a cool design, and nothing more. There is essentially nothing to his character, so he will be remembered in the same fashion TIE Interceptors or X-Wings will be, as cool production designs. Anything beyond that is simply EU or fanfic filling painting over a blank canvas in a person's mind. The general public is going to input their own back story or fairy tales involving Maul, so they will only remember him for his looks, just like any other tool or mechanical contraption in SW.

he just killed some guy anyone who hasnt read any additional star wars material exccept those 3 movies wouldnt have cared about in the first place . also , those horns .. childish . brilliant character design , short life =boring character . i saw the first of the episodes when i was 10 . i should know what scary is . that is not scary or villanous .

[hl=black]Maul is definitely NOT forgotten!!! All of my friends love maul, and I must say that I'm obsessed with ep. I
The dual between Qui-gon, & Obi-wan vs. Darth Maul has been the best lightsaber battle in the entire SW series. Of course, DM didn't play a very big part in SW, but if he had killed obi-wan, there would be no anakin.[/hl]

HEY! Darth OWNS!!! Dooku is an long-faced old man that doesn't look cool. Emp and Maul are the best 2 sith. I don't count Vader cuz he never truly was a sith. he had constant flashbacks whenever an event happened to him when he was young. he had guilt and felt remorse whenever he did something evil. it would show if his face wasn't covered up, which probably symbolizes a truly great man trying to be evil, like the phantom of the opera.

How could Darth Maul possibly be forgotten? He is by far the coolest Sith (other than Vader) with the red and black tattoos to go along with those yellow eyes. His dark side abilities were awesome; he fought two Jedi at once and nearly won.
